London Streatham Hill Theatre – Love Of Four Colonels – 1951
An original theatre programme for Peter Ustinov’s The Love of Four Colonels at the Streatham Hill Theatre, London, in 1951. The cast includes Alan Gifford, Colin Gordon, Eugene Deckers, Paul Hardtmuth, Moira Lister and Gwen Cherrell.
In Ustinov’s fantasy, four officers of the occupying powers in post-war Germany each try to win a Sleeping Beauty in the style of his own nation’s drama.
Ustinov’s witty plays are a delightful area of old theatre programmes, capturing the mood of early Cold War Britain.
